After Israel Retaliates for Rocket Attack, Hamas Appeals for Calm
(Times of Israel) Raoul Wootliff - Hamas has reportedly sent a message to Israel saying it was not interested in a further escalation of tensions, following IDF airstrikes on its installations in Gaza Wednesday in response to a rocket attack from Gaza on Sderot. A Hamas official said it would not allow other terrorist groups within Gaza to further inflame the situation, Israel Radio reported. The Islamic State-affiliated Ahfad al-Sahaba-Aknaf Bayt al-Maqdis terrorist group took responsibility for Wednesday's rocket launch.
